GDPR guidance from the Sport and Recreation Alliance

As you will probably be aware, from 25 May 2018 the new law for data protection, GDPR, will be coming into effect. 

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) brings in new requirements on data controllers and data processors. Although most of the principles and terminology have not dramatically changed the GDPR enhances rights for individuals and introduces a number of additional obligations on organisations, in particular, greater transparency and accountability. 

Swim England have produced a separate summary of GDPR that you can read here.

Support from the Sport and Recreation Alliance

Some of you may be aware that Sport England have commissioned the Sport and Recreation Alliance to lead a project to help support the sport sector meet the legislative requirements of GDPR.

Swim England will produce another update before 25 May to share our own privacy notices and external facing policies.
